      Yeah. I even posted proof and they laugh. I don’t get it. They just seriously are stupid.

        They’re not laughing at the proof, they’re laughing at you for attempting to persuade them with logic, reasoning, and facts. They only thing that matters to them is power, whether it’s power they can physically hold, or power derived from culture, in-groups, and their hierarchies to aid them in achieving what they want even if they don’t have the clout to force it. Trump and MAGA offer that second kind of power, the kind to bring back white, Christian, male privilege in a way that even their ancestors didn’t enjoy because what they’re trying to make is event rooted in reality but the myth of what that reality was. It’s a worse version of all the worst versions that have come before. Confederates invented the “Lost Cause” myth, and that’s what they are, a lost cause. They’re not worth wasting time on.
